S. Transportation Department released a statement saying that it would cancel $929 million in federal funds supplied by the Obama administration for a high-speed railway project in California.

The U.S. agency is currently “exploring every legal option” in order to get a return on the $2.5 billion already received by the state, as reported by Reuters. The initial goal was to complete the $77.3 billion 520-mile (826.8 km) project by the year 2033.

What would be interesting it to have the FANG group of companies that are located in California step up to the plate and work together to fund the whole project. This would be great for their staff and their customers and do more for them than just wasting $100B on a stock by-back to manipulate share prices in the short term.

They should fund a next gen tech like a loop, hyperloop, or PRT system. The train as currently designed is inferior to even 40 year old Tokyo bullet line. Instead of aiming to hit the standards other countries have set, we should build the new status quo.

California liberals are just like desperately SPOILED child who is paid to do work but fails to act but keeps what was paid for the work. Juvenile dysfunctionality of an entire liberal state of selfish, self indulgent marxists.

The federal governmand doesn't need to ask for the funds back. The plan is just to deduct the funds from future payments owed to CA (e.g. transportation funds). Then CA can try to sue and get the money, but that may take years.

Newsome is looking for a showdown with Trump, but he is not smart enough to realize that his wish will only result in a Trump landslide in 2020. The Dumbocrats believe their own fake media. He and Kamala "mouth-pleaser" Harris are in for a rude awakening. The day after the win in 2020, I want Trump to declare martial law in California. THAT would be popcorn worthy.

No. It actually solves a massive problem. California needs a b!tchslapping back into reality. I'd really like to know why Venezuela is the economic model the Fascist-Socialis-Communist Democrats seek to emulate. And YES the California DemonRat party is all three things simultaneously.

California provides the Federal government far more than what it gets in return. We're probably subsidizing the state you live in, so don't get too cocky. I haven't considered myself a Democrat since I was 19, but the sheer stupidity of the current administration is definitely pushing me in that direction. There may be a major over-correction come 2020.
